This book is an interdisciplinary study of struggles for indigenous
self-determination and the recognition of indigenous' territorial
rights in Latin America. Studies of indigenous peoples' opposition
to extractive industries have tended to focus on its economic,
political or social aspects, as if these were discrete dimensions
of the conflict. In contrast, this book offers a comprehensive and
interdisciplinary understanding of the tensions between indigenous
peoples' territorial rights and the governance of extractive
industries and related state developmental policies. Analysing the
contentious process pushed by indigenous peoples for implementing
pluri-nationality against extractive projects and pro-extractive
policies, the book compares the struggle for territorial rights in
Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. Centrally, it argues that indigenous
territorial defenses against the extractive industries articulate a
politics of self-determination that challenges coloniality as the
foundation of the nation-state. The resource governance of the
nation-state assumes that indigenous peoples must be integrated or
assimilated within multicultural arrangements as ethnic minorities
with proprietary entitlements, so they can participate in the
benefits of development. As the struggle for indigenous
self-determination in Latin America maintains that indigenous
peoples must not be considered as ethnic communities with property
rights, but as nations with territorial rights, this book argues
that it offers a radical re-imagination of politics, development,
and constitutional arrangements. Drawing on detailed case studies,
this book's multidisciplinary account of indigenous movements in
Latin America will appeal to those with relevant interests in
politics, law, sociology and development studies.
